Parking: Private Sector
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what recent assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of regulations relating to private parking enforcement companies.
Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh
The government is aware of concerns about poor practice from a number of parking operators and is determined to raise standards.
In accordance with the Private Parking (Code of Practice) Act 2019, the government is preparing a code of practice containing guidance about the operation and management of private parking facilities.
The government has recently consulted on its proposals for a new code of practice for private parking operators to follow. The consultation closed on 26 September, and the government will respond in due course.
